Louis Partridge Kisses Olivia Rodrigo in Photos From Venice Dinner

Guts singer Olivia Rodrigo and boyfriend Louis Partridge attended the 2024 Venice Film Festival together as Partridge promoted his newest project, Disclaimer. It was the first time the couple attended a red carpet event together. On Friday, they were photographed at a filmmaker dinner for the series, sharing an adorable moment: in the image, the actor leans down to kiss Rodrigo on the top of the head.

For the event, Rodrigo wore a black minidress and a pair of patent leather platform heels with open toes. Rodrigo’s hair was up with some wavy tendrils around her face and she wore bright red lipstick for a pop of color. In another cute snap, the couple are seated at the dinner table and Partridge is aiming a camera at his girlfriend.

The weekend also marked their first “Instagram official” moment when Partridge shared a photo of them together at the Disclaimer premiere in his Stories.

Rumors that the couple were together have been circulating since October 2023. They confirmed the relationship in December. In April 2024, Partridge talked a bit with British Vogue about dating in the spotlight and how it is different for them both.

“Dating probably shouldn’t be done in the public eye,” he said. “There’s enough going on between two people. You don’t need the voices of thousands of others in your head. I think she’s [Rodrigo] got it a lot worse than I have. I can be a bit of a normal person. She’s got tons and tons of eyes on her case.”

He added, “If there’s a load of people nattering in a room about you, you can choose to put your ear to the door to hear what they say or not. I think you’re probably better off not letting curiosity get the better of you.”
